Yes, there are two seasons in Seattle: generally sunny and generally
shitty. During the generally shitty season, regular weekend excursions
above the cloud layer to go skiing at Stevens Pass, Snoqualmie Pass, or
Crystal Mountain generally serves to alleviate SAD symptoms. May thru
September is quite nice, about the nicest of anyplace anywhere, much
like the Bay Area is September to April normally.
